Curious Figures About Grants Memoirs.

HARTFORD, Conn. April 28.-During the ex-
ercises in memory of General Grant, last even
ing, the following curious statistics in regard to
the manufacture of the personal memoirs of
General Grant were read. In binding the cloth
books there A ,359 square yards of cloth
used, which, if put in one piece. would make
strip yard wide and twenty-f five and one
fifth miles long. The gold used in stamping
lettering, etc. all styles of binding if coined
would make $15, 446 AZ. The price paid the gold
heaters for this gold was $21 639 so. There was
176 barrels of binders paste used, weighing
about SO, coo pounds. There was q, 8S2 sheep
skins used, 1921 goat-skins and 1873 calf-skins.
AS none of these skins split, it represents
of course, the killing of an equal number of ami
mails. There was about 30l, $40 reams of paper
used in the printing. which weighed
about 1873, $50. pounds 906a tons. This,
put into one piece, would make strip two
feet wide and 1.6S2a miles long. If the books
were piled up in row, the narrowest way,
that's, the same as they would stand in a book
case, it would take shelf nineteen and one half
miles long to hold them. If the pages OF the
books joined together. it would make
strip of paper six inches wide and 6. 729a miles
long. Forty-one steam presses were working
day ard night, over 1000 operatives were en-
ployed, and over 5000 agents engaged in distrib-
uting the book To these latter, who were
mainly old soldiers and the widows of soldiers,
paid in commissions for selling the book
considerably more than 81. DOC, 900 in cash.

A Roman Dialogue.
(Julius Cesar. III. ARtonius.)
Goods send all health to faithful Antony.
A.-Hail and thrice hail to the most noble Julius.
C.-What says the voice and verdict of the pebs
Of my refusal of the kingly
Thrice offered me by you at the Lupercall
DO they believe in my sincerity
Or that my No is a womans Yes,
By contraries be interpreted?
Tell me- my Tony; for among the boys
Is none that wears longer head than thou
Al think, my lord, the boys are on to US;
They take no stock in the refusal act.

Those doubling Williams too insolent.

And all ambition else fling away
To make Rome yet more glorious

Please that chestnut for the gaping plebs
And fling it not at me.

You will not to spread abroad the rumor
That am not candidate and still

Are skittish. Mark we must be gentle with them.
A-Trust me- my lord but let me counsel you
That this refusal act may be oerworked
The people might believe you
C-Mars forbid
A-You cannot have plebs and partricians, too
warn you, Caesar, that the people murmur.
C--What, do the varlets murrnurl
A.-Aye. they say
That Caesar suffers from the magnum caput:
Surrounds himself with haughr patrican prigs,
And keeps out access of the vulgar pebs.
Caesar, beware! Your rudder is not true;
Look that your trireme be not wrecked and smashed
Keep your eye on the custom house at Ostia
Bounce the Pompeians in the Treasury
Be most pernicious in activity,
And most offensive in your partisanship
Yet do fear the plebs have fallen away.

A thing that may not chance to come my waya
Al fear that that's about the size of it.
